On the evening of the 11th June 2002, this Fulcrum, together with 6829 took off from Sliač for a training mission. During the exercise the two planes collided but the pilot of 6930 managed to eject with the wreckage of both planes crashing into the ground near Grajnár mountain. Unfortunately, the pilot of 6829 was killed and a memorial has been erected at the location. Some of the remains of 6930 are now on display at this museum. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
